Joan Fontaine--a showbiz legend!

[@fromthesidelines]

Bristol-Myers, the primary sponsor of "THE DOUBLE LIFE OF HENRY PHYFE", owned Clairol at the time. Andrea Dromm is featured in the Summer Blonde ad.

[@tomservo56954]

Am I wrong, or were Brylcreem and Macleans from another company earlier (as opposed to being Bristol-Myers products from the start)?

[@fromthesidelines]

They were manufactured by Beecham., not Bristol-Myers. Today, Brylcreem is marketed by Combe, Inc.

[@allenjones3130]

I remember Ms. Dromm for playing a small role in the second STAR TREK pilot.

[@fromthesidelines]

Yep, as "Yeoman Smith"- a minor character you never saw again.

[@pattibrooks1907]

I was going on 10 when these were aired on TV

[@DTD110865]

I was a couple of months old.

[@luisreyes1963]

Didn't know The Secret Life Of Henry Phyfe was a Filmways show, despite the Vic Mizzy music. Still would like to see a movie of it. 🎞️

[@zaq55]

I should have known the theme was by Vic Mizzy. Sounds a lot like The Ghost and Mr. Chicken music

[@DucNguyen0131]

In the future I want many tapes of The Rat Patrol from the original ABC broadcasts complete with the presence of United Artists TV logos!

great commercials

[@michaelgitlin1901]

classic TV shows

[@jpolar394]

TV commercials were so much fun and enjoyable to watch back then instead of all the shit and crap that's on today. You can't even begin to read what they are trying to say and in a instant it's all gone. The hell with all TV today. It's not worth shit.

[@fromthesidelines]

15 seconds here, 15 seconds there................

[@infantryricky6807]

That's when America was really great!

[@pattibrooks1907]

I was going on 10 when the commercials came out on TV !

[@oliviajohnjohnolivia8142]

I was 1 years old.

[@hebneh]

I have no memory of this TV series, but I certainly remember the Summer Blonde song. I also now remember - having just been reminded - “I came back - to Brylcreem!” How come Joan Fontaine, who was American, was talking with an English accent?

[@fromthesidelines]

"THE DOUBLE LIFE OF HENRY PHYFE" lasted 17 episodes (it was opposite "THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES" and "THE VIRGINIAN"). Probably because Joan and her sister Olivia had English parents.

[@joelm1990]

That’s just how movie stars talked back then

[@hebneh]

@@joelm1990 She did play various movie roles as an English woman. But no, most American movie stars did not put on an accent like this one in the 1960s.

[@stevieg7672]

I believe that is a transatlantic accent, which was common during the Golden Age of Hollywood. If you watch films or any sort of media made between the 1920s-50s, you'd notice people speaking with an accent that is not necessarily American or British, but a combination of both.

[@lizadivine3785]

All of my brothers used brylcreem

[@oliviajohnjohnolivia8142]

use vaseline.

[@annecollins1741]
